CASE STUDY ANALYSIS PAPER
Purpose: The Case Study Analysis Paper is designed to provide students with an opportunity to demonstrate their understanding of the strategic management techniques we are studying. It also allows students to hone writing and critical analysis skills that are critical to success in any profession.
General: Case Study Analysis Papers will have all of the components of the Case at a Glance outline plus an Executive summary section (this should appear at the beginning of the paper). The executive summary consists of the following:
One to three paragraphs long
Identifies the major problems facing the key characters in the case
Identifies and summarizes the recommended plan of action with a brief justification for the recommended plan
Your papers must use APA citation style. I urge you to review APA citation style before beginning to write. Failure to follow APA guidelines (especially in-text citation and reference listing) will be heavily penalized, i.e. your paper will not receive a passing grade. You will find you need some outside reference sources in order produce quality work. Please use appropriate sources and avoid blogs, Wikipedia, Investopedia, anything-o-pedia.
